Record Your Screen Easily with Microsoft Clipchamp

Need to create a quick tutorial, training video or team update? You may be surprised to learn that Windows already includes a simple tool that can help.

Microsoft Clipchamp isn’t just a video editor. It also includes a built-in screen recording feature that allows you to capture your screen, record your webcam and edit your content, all from one application.

Create Screen Recordings in Just a Few Clicks

Getting started is simple.

Open Clipchamp and select Record & Create. From there, you can choose whether you’d like to record:

  • Your screen only
  • Your screen and webcam together

If you’re presenting a tutorial, software demonstration or training session, adding your webcam can help create a more personal and engaging experience.

Record Exactly What You Need

Clipchamp gives you flexibility over what you record.

You can capture:

  • An individual browser tab
  • A specific application window
  • Your entire screen

This makes it ideal for a wide range of business uses, including:

  • Employee training
  • Customer tutorials
  • Software demonstrations
  • Internal team updates
  • Process documentation

Edit and Share Quickly

Once you’ve finished recording, Clipchamp takes you straight into the editing environment.

You can:

  • Trim unwanted sections
  • Adjust audio levels
  • Add captions and effects
  • Export your finished video in just a few minutes

Because recording and editing are combined in a single tool, there’s no need to install separate software or learn complicated video production techniques.

Perfect for Modern Businesses

Video has become one of the most effective ways to share information. Whether you’re training staff, helping customers or communicating with your team, Clipchamp makes video creation accessible to everyone.

If you’re already using Windows and Microsoft 365, you may already have everything you need to start creating professional-looking video content today.

Excel Is Learning Your Rules: What Copilot’s New Memory Means for Regulated Firms

Most people think AI in Excel is about faster number crunching. The latest Copilot update is quietly more significant: Excel is starting to learn how your firm actually works, remembering how you format figures, structure reports and apply your team's conventions. For regulated firms, that promises genuine consistency, but it also raises a governance question. This post explains what is changing, where the real value sits, and why human oversight still matters.

AI Can Save Your Firm Hours, But It Must Never Replace the Human Voice Clients Trust

Have you noticed how many firms' websites, emails and letters are starting to sound identical? Professional, polished and completely forgettable. As AI becomes part of everyday professional practice, the firms that stand out are the ones that still sound human. This post explains where AI genuinely saves regulated firms time, where it quietly erodes the trust clients pay for, and how to keep the efficiency without losing your voice.

Do You Actually Know Which AI Tools Your Team Is Using?

AI may not be the biggest risk in your firm. The bigger risk might be that nobody is talking about it. Many regulated firms are convinced they have not adopted AI, yet their people are quietly using public tools to draft client emails and summarise sensitive documents. This post explains why unmanaged AI spreads so quickly, where the real compliance exposure sits, and how an open conversation turns a hidden risk into a governed one.

When Your People Become the Glue Between Systems: The Hidden Compliance Cost of “Human Middleware”

AI was supposed to make regulated work simpler. Instead, many firms find their people quietly acting as the glue between disconnected systems, copying client data by hand, re-checking outputs and bridging tools that will not integrate. It can feel productive while it happens, but each manual handoff is an unlogged, unaudited control gap. Here is how to spot "human middleware" in your firm and why a governance-first review of your technology matters.
